Storyboard time. - 100 images? This will take a while before it's done I think. A lot of new ideas :) All to be updated when I roll a two ^.^
"So this is, paper people"
- Fade in from black
- Sealed book slowly rotating left, a purple world on the cover turning at a slightly slower rotation.
- In time with paper people, the words "Paper people" 2D swivel on x axis on the cover
- Loose paper flutters across book, covering title (when moved past title, it has gone), with particle drop off, floating from left to right and as exiting the book returning to white and distancing to look like stars. (only purple paper when in front of the book)
-----------------------To update in near but distant future----------------------
I like people. - Humans, personalities, actual individuals.
I’d like some paper people. - Manufactured replications, easily destroyed, or stained
They’d be purple paper people. Maybe pop-up purple paper people. - purple lack of race, rare, expensive, hardest colour for the eye to discriminate against.
Proper pop-up purple paper people. - 3D/adverts - more than just an image on the sheet but an actual personality
“How do you prop up pop-up purple paper people?” - His interaction with the audience, the doubt of his city ever being able to work, or be sustainable, questioning the quality and means.
I hear you cry. Well I … - powerful but inarticulate, a collection of animalistic noises spreading doubt over
I’d probably prop up proper pop-up purple paper people
With a proper pop-up purple people paperclip,
But I’d pre-prepare appropriate adhesives as alternatives,
A cheeky pack of Blu Tack just in case the paper slipped. - - holding everything together - jury rig. purple still a part of the society he's creating - posh with a top hat and mustache . Conforming to the ideals of the paper world . Even the correct items for everything to be okay make sure that there is a back up for when things go wrong
Because I could build a pop-up metropolis. - busy country city, civilization,
But I wouldn’t wanna deal with all the paper people politics.
Paper politicians with their paper-thin policies,
Broken promises without appropriate apologies. - our politicians will say one thing then do another, and at the end of the day you will be worse off. They fail and do not acknowledge ( China explode?) - creating a common enemy between audience and him
There’d be a little paper me. And a little paper you. - this is the real world but on paper including you inside of his ideal and inviting the audience with him.
And we could watch paper TV and it would all be pay-per-view. - (mono money coming out of eyes) you will pay for everything o.o
We’d see the poppy paper rappers rap about their paper package - over sexualisation
Or watch paper people carriers get stuck in paper traffic on the A4. Paper. - Drudgery of life....
There’d be a paper princess Kate but we’d all stare at paper Pippa,
And then we’d all live in fear of killer Jack the Paper-Ripper,
Because the paper propaganda propagates the people’s prejudices,
Papers printing pictures of the photogenic terrorists. - control over the humans, you won't be thinking if you're scared, social media dependancy, comments on how in the past and now also building terrorists into icons and giving them the publicity (shooting in america batman)
A little paper me. And a little paper you.
And in a pop-up population people’s problems pop up too.
There’d be a pompous paper parliament who remained out of touch,
And who ignored the people’s protests about all the paper cuts, - constant chipping away piece by piece, nhs, education, taxes in general....
Then the peaceful paper protests would get blown to paper pieces, - everything gets pushed out of proportion, and ultimately destroyed, their original intent removed and the destruction the real message taken from events
By the confetti cannons manned by pre-emptive police. - The cycle of humans in power, greed, and lack of thinking
And yes there’d still be paper money, so there’d still be paper greed, - consumerism
And the paper piggy bankers pocketing more than they need,
Purchasing the potpourri to pepper their paper properties,
Others live in poverty and ain’t acknowledged properly.
A proper poor economy where so many are proper poor, - unequal society, money and commodity being a large part of the perceived value of a person and their power and the aspiration being pushed onto people
But while their needs are ignored the money goes to big wars.
Origami armies unfold plans for paper planes
And we remain imprisoned in our own paper chains,
But the greater shame is that it always seems to stay the same, - Greed, always wanting more, repeating history, society wraps up around you and makes you think you can't do anything, when you are in control you just let them surround you, it;s also the chains, its a social thing not just one human and the group impact makes the difference
What changes is who’s in power choosing how to lay the blame,
They’re naming names, forgetting these are names of people,
Because in the end it all comes down to people. - take down of current dictator bring up the next pin wheel, dehumanising and creating statistics
I like people.
‘Cause even when the situation’s dire,
It is only ever people who are able to inspire,
And on paper, it’s hard to see how we all cope. - emotions? detached society of the inter webs
But in the bottom of Pandora’s box there’s still hope, - The last thing to come out of Pandora's Box was Hope, and it flew out into the world, even thought the evil spirits had already escaped.
sickness, death, turmoil, strife, jealousy, hatred, famine
And I still hope ’cause I believe in people.
People like my grandparents.
Who every single day since I was born, have taken time out of their morning to pray for me.
That’s 7892 days straight of someone checking I’m okay, and that’s amazing.
People like my aunt who puts on plays with prisoners.
People who are capable of genuine forgiveness.
Importance of family in life and in society, parent figures acting as role models and who important that is to us all.
People like the persecuted Palestinians.
People who go out of their way to make your life better, and expect nothing in return.
You see, people have potential to be powerful.
highlighting the importance of our influence as individuals
Just because the people in power tend to pretend to be victims
We don’t need to succumb to that system.
And a paper population is no different.
drawing comparisons between the metaphor, to make a political and social critique.
There’s a little paper me. And a little paper you.
And in a pop-up population people’s problems pop up too,
But even if the whole world fell apart then we’d still make it through.
Emphasis and conclusion on everything that he has said on human nature and how it is an important aspect of our lives and how it influences our interactions with each other.
